03 / Frequently asked questions
Is Sirvez an alternative to Scribe?
Partly. Both help show people how to do things, but Sirvez produces screen-recording video while Scribe produces written step-by-step guides auto-generated from your clicks. If you specifically want video, Sirvez is the right tool. If you want click-by-click process documentation, Scribe is purpose-built for that.
#q-scribe-alternativeWhat is the difference between Sirvez and Scribe?
Sirvez records your screen as video with a built-in editor and analytics, while Scribe captures your mouse clicks and turns them into annotated step-by-step guides with screenshots. Scribe does not record video; Sirvez does not auto-generate written guides from clicks. The two tools are complementary rather than interchangeable.
#q-scribe-differenceHow much does Scribe cost compared to Sirvez?
Scribe Pro is around $23 per seat per month (billed annually), while Sirvez is free or $6/month Pro. Sirvez free includes unlimited recording with no watermark; Scribe free is limited to web-based guides.
#q-scribe-pricingDoes Scribe record video like Sirvez?
Scribe does not record screen video; it captures your screen actions and outputs annotated step-by-step guide documents. For video tutorials, demos, and narrated walkthroughs, Sirvez is the dedicated choice. Scribe is built for process documentation rather than video production.
#q-scribe-videoCan Sirvez embed into a knowledge base like Scribe?
Sirvez videos can be embedded anywhere via an iframe or link, but Scribe's native integrations with Notion, Confluence, and LMS platforms are stronger for structured documentation workflows. If embedding step-by-step guides directly into your documentation tool is the priority, Scribe is the purpose-built option.
#q-scribe-knowledge-baseBottom line: They serve different jobs. Choose Sirvez when you need screen video (demos, tutorials, narrated walkthroughs with a free plan and $6/mo Pro). Choose Scribe when you need written, click-by-click process guides embedded in a knowledge base. Many teams use both.
